For the first Friday Face Off of the year, I am sharing a couple of AI creations and the start of what I hope will be my entry for the portrait challenge.
First up is one that I like BUT it is a "failure" as an AI self portrait.
I don't think it looks very much like me. It is however a very interesting portrait.
Next up is another portrait I created on Night Cafe. I am not sure if I have ever shared this one.

I am sharing her today because she will be the basis for my entry into the Portrait Challenge.
I have used a print out of this one to create a tracing onto watercolor paper.
I did make some artistic changes in the tracing.
I will likely make more changes once I start painting .
If you look closely, you may notice that many of the angles have become curves.
This tracing is a bit faint because I used the printout with the oil pastel tracing trick that
Nicole shared on this post. This happens to be the third use of the same print. In a few places
I did have to add a bit more pastel to get a line. For the most part it worked well.
I am planning to paint this is acrylics, simply because it is easier to correct mistakes. Ha ha.
Have a Happy and Creative New Year
Until Next Time,
Stay Creative

...Gene, be well, merry and creative in the new year!
I can see bits of you in the first one Gene. I like the modern effect. Happy 2026 to you. I hope you have a wonderful year ahead.
OK my friend. First off that first AI is stellar. It may not be a self portrait, but there is so much action going on in his face and the background. His eyes and that cheeky little smile conveys a lot of emotion. Take that word failure away please. I do like the angles of on the woman. She is strong and I think formidable. I'm thrilled that you are using the tracing method and then making it your own. You are such a clever artist. I can't wait to see her finished. Save her for Jan 30 LOL I hope all is well over there and thank you for sharing with FFO.
Hi, Gene -- happy new year! I will look forward to seeing more of your art and the final self-portrait! (And I hope more of your fabulous quilts!) Onward!
